Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

cos⁡x(ln⁡(cos⁡x))2dy+(sin⁡x−3y(sin⁡x)ln⁡(cos⁡x))dx=0\cos x(\ln (\cos x))^{2} d y+(\sin x-3 y(\sin x) \ln (\cos x)) d x= 0 cos⁡x(ln⁡(cos⁡x))2dydx−3sin⁡x⋅ln⁡(cos⁡x)y=−sin⁡x\cos x(\ln (\cos x))^{2} \frac{d y}{d x}-3 \sin x \cdot \ln (\cos x) y=-\sin x dydx−3tan⁡xln⁡(cos⁡x)y=−tan⁡x(ln⁡(cos⁡x))2\frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{3 \tan x}{\ln (\cos x)} y=\frac{-\tan x}{(\ln (\cos x))^{2}} dydx+3tan⁡xln⁡(sec⁡x)y=−tan⁡x(ln⁡(sec⁡x))2\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{3 \tan x}{\ln (\sec x)} y=\frac{-\tan x}{(\ln (\sec x))^{2}}  I.F. =e∫3tan⁡xln⁡(sec⁡x)dx=(ln⁡(sec⁡x))3\text { I.F. }=\mathrm{e}^{\int \frac{3 \tan x}{\ln (\sec x)} \mathrm{dx}}=(\ln (\sec x))^{3} y×(ln⁡(sec⁡x))3=−∫tan⁡x(ln⁡(sec⁡x))2(ln⁡(sec⁡x))3dx+Cy \times(\ln (\sec x))^{3}=-\int \frac{\tan x}{(\ln (\sec x))^{2}}(\ln (\sec x))^{3} d x+C y×(ln⁡(sec⁡x))3=−12(ln⁡(sec⁡x))2+C\mathrm{y} \times(\ln (\sec \mathrm{x}))^{3}=-\frac{1}{2}(\ln (\sec \mathrm{x}))^{2}+C

Given : x=π4,y=−1ln⁡2\mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{4}, \mathrm{y}=-\frac{1}{\ln 2}

−1ln⁡2×(ln⁡2)3=−12×(ln⁡2)2+C\frac{-1}{\ln 2} \times(\ln \sqrt{2})^{3}=-\frac{1}{2} \times(\ln \sqrt{2})^{2}+\mathrm{C}
